I just got these boots from Blowfish and they're super amazing. The boots are perfect for exploring with their flat soles and snug fit; I had a lot of fun climbing all over the rocks down by the shore in them (much more secure than my usual ballet flats). I really enjoy all the snazzy details: the lace-ups (they also have a side zipper) and shearling trim. I haven't done a lot of "field testing" with these boots but from all appearances thus far at the beach they kept my legs warm, my feet dry, and gripped nicely on the rocks.
I was talking to a friend the other day about how I feel like a vampire. After a year of overcast skies in Washington, the bright sun of Virginia feels very intense. Even as the temperatures cool, the sun beats down bright and rather unforgivingly. Still, while I might feel a little "day blind" I still drag myself outside to the beach to squint at distant ships passing by.

Nice boots! They do seem perfect for traveling and exploring! Boots are great for climbing, in fact I wore a pair for all of hiking Machu Picchu for 2 days!

ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I have the same dress but different colour...mind if I steal your look? Just for a day, I'll give it back ;)
ReplyDeleteShy!
just started reading your blog, and i must say i really like it! :D
ReplyDeletebut did you know that saltwater ruins leather?
it makes the leather look really ugly. remember my mom always told me to not go down to the ocean while wearing nice leather boots.
But I guess you can fix them with those sprays or shoecream/shine thingies.
they have allready started spreading salt, pebbles and sand on the roads here because of icy roads/snow... no good for your shoes, and no good for skaters such as my BF :P
ooohhh i just love that those boots are flat!!! love the shearling details too!! :D

Those boots are great! And these photos are so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteThere is just something to be said for boots that are chic, snug, stylish, comfortable, walkable and WARM. The fact that it is all of these things makes it a perfect pair of boots for fall, no?
ReplyDeleteI think that it allows you to clamber over rocks and walk along the wet seashore is pretty brilliant.
I love your layering with bright colours.

Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
You're so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is vastly different from Washington, but usually by the time January comes around it's dreary and wet in Virginia. Not my favorite time of year.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, those boots are so adorable I could squeal! I love the shearling and the lace up detail. Very cute outfit for the boots:)
@Martine, thank you for your comment; I didn't get my feet all the way wet so the boots are fine. Even so...shoes are made to be worn & even ruined, when they fall apart I know I got good use out of them. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! I love love love your boots.

Gorgeous! I have major hair envy too!
ReplyDeleteI've been on the hunt for a good pair of flat boots to scamper around in. These are great! The shearling trim makes them extra awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHow did they hold up against the water?
ReplyDelete@DragonRose, well so far. My feet didn't feel wet and they don't appear to be damaged. They're faux leather.
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful photos! I am loving those boots. :)
